Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

Back for a third year!

Performances: Friday, December 6, at 8:00pm, Saturday, December 7, matinée at 2:00pm, and Saturday, December 7, evening show at 8:00pm at Unity Somerville

Rapidly becoming a beloved annual tradition! Again this December, The Post-Meridian Radio Players will be presenting our original adaptation of that 1964 Christmas classic film, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, in which Martians, concerned that their children are bored and listless and don’t want to do anything but watch Earth television programs, kidnap Santa Claus (and a couple of unlucky Earth children) from Earth and bring him to Mars to make toys so their children can be kids again. Can Santa get back to Earth in time for Christmas? Are the children of Mars doomed to a joyless life of food pills and machine-implanted learning? Is that terrifying, huge polar bear going to eat our young heroes? Will Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo show up to heckle? (Hint: No.) Find out for yourself at PMRP’s Santa Claus Conquers the Martians!

This has been so much fun (for us and the audience!) that we’re bringing it back again this year!
